Nougat allow users to <strong>customize the availability of Setting tiles in Quick Settings<\/strong>. (Some manufacturers\u2019 devices already come with this feature, however, it wasn\u2019t part of vanilla aka Google\u2019s version of Android.)<\/p>\n<p>To customize the quick settings, <strong>slide down<\/strong><strong> from the top<\/strong> to view the notification drawer<strong> &gt; slide down again<\/strong> to see the settings toggles &gt; <strong><\/strong>click the <strong>EDIT<\/strong> button to view the quick settings tiles\u2019 configuration &gt; <strong>drag and drop<\/strong> the tiles to set the tiles\u2019 availability.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/customize-quick-settings.jpg\" alt=\"Customize Quick Settings\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"2\">Faster Multitasking<\/h2>\n<p>Multitasking on Android so far involves tapping on the square button to pull up all your open apps, arranged based on recent use. Now, all you need to do is <strong>double-tap the recents (square)<\/strong> button<strong> <\/strong>on the navigation bar and Android will switch to the most recent app.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"354\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/faster-multitasking.jpg\" alt=\"Faster Multitasking\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"note\"> <strong>Recommended Reading:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/android-app-switcher\/\">10 Android Apps For Faster App-Switching<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3\">Use Multi-Window<\/h2>\n<p>Multi-window come to Android in Nougat. It lets you <strong>use two apps concurrently side-by-side by splitting the screen<\/strong> into two halvesbarhorizontally or vertically.<\/p>\n<p>To use two apps simultaneously, open your first app, <strong>long press the recents (square) <\/strong>icon on the navigation bar while using it. This will snap it to<strong> the top-half<\/strong> of the screen (in portrait mode) or to the left-half (in landscape mode). Then, <strong>choose another of your recently open apps <\/strong>to snap to the other half of the screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note: <\/strong>The two apps that you want to use concurrently using multi-window should be <strong>already present in your Recent Apps<\/strong> list for this to work. Note that <strong>not <em>all<\/em> apps support multi-window<\/strong> feature currently. There is however a workaround you can try (next tip).<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"812\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/use-multi-window.jpg\" alt=\"Use Multi-Window\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"4\">Use Any App in Multi-Window<\/h2>\n<p>One of the reason multi-window is not supported in certain apps is due to the size. There is a tweak you can use to overcome this. It is a developer option that <strong>allows apps to be resized<\/strong> (so it can used in split-screen mode). It\u2019s not a 100% tweak though \u2013 you\u2019ll have to try it out to see if it works.<\/p>\n<p>To enable this ability, first enable<strong> developer options<\/strong> by opening<strong> Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>About &gt; Software information<\/strong> and tap<strong> <\/strong>on the<strong> Build number <\/strong>7 times.<\/p>\n<p>Once the developer options has been enabled, open the <strong>Settings<\/strong> again<strong> &gt; Developer options<\/strong> and toggle <strong>Force activities to be resizable<\/strong> on to make all apps compatible with Multi-Window.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"613\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/use-any-app-in-multi-window.jpg\" alt=\"Use Any App in Multi-Window\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"5\">Direct Reply and Expandable Notifications<\/h2>\n<p>Direct reply feature enables you to <strong>reply to a message or notification directly<\/strong> from the notification drawer, i.e., you don\u2019t need to open that particular app to reply to a message. Expandable notifications feature allows <strong>viewing more details of the notification<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These features come handy when you\u2019re playing a game or watching a movie and a notification arrives for which you need to reply to. Rather than load up the app, you can reply to the message or read the notification in full right from the notification bar.<\/p>\n<p>To use the direct reply feature, when a message comes in, <strong>slide down from the top<\/strong> of your device\u2019s screen to see the notification drawer. <strong>Swipe again with two fingers on any particular notification then t<\/strong>ype your message and tap the reply button to send your message.<\/p>\n<p>To use the expandable notifications feature, <strong>click the tiny arrow button<\/strong> on the right side of your notifications or make the expand gesture (swiping with two fingers). This lets you <strong>expand that notification<\/strong> to show more details (say, complete message) from that particular notification.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/direct-reply-and-expandable-notifications.jpg\" alt=\"Direct Reply and Expandable Notifications\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"6\">Get Bundled Notifications<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Similar to the notification stacks on Android Wear<\/strong>, bundled notifications group all notifications into one notification, reducing individual attention required to address them.<\/p>\n<p>If you just single tap on a bundled notification, the action will launch the associated app. If you, however, use the expand gesture (swipe down using two fingers) on that bundled notification, then the <strong>bundled notification expands itself<\/strong> to display the individual notifications.<\/p>\n<p>Then you can <strong>tap on a particular unbundled notification<\/strong> to view the same in the given app (and not open just the app as described above).<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"358\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/get-bundled-notifications.jpg\" alt=\"Get Bundled Notifications\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"7\">Better Notification Management<\/h2>\n<p>With Nougat, you can <strong>manage certain kinds of notifications<\/strong> based on the apps they come from. Ignore ads, promotions and other irrelevant notifications (like Facebook birthday reminders and game notifications) and keep only the important ones that really require your attention.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, on any such incoming notification, <strong>long press<\/strong> on the app\u2019s notification &gt; <strong>select the behavior accordingly<\/strong> from the options. You can choose to silent the notifications or totally block them.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"579\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/better-notification-management.jpg\" alt=\"Better Notification Management\"><\/figure>\n<p>If you tap on <strong>MORE SETTINGS<\/strong> (at the bottom, next to DONE), you can choose to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Block all notifications from this app,<\/li>\n<li>Show them silently,<\/li>\n<li>Control what shows up on the lock screen, or<\/li>\n<li>Allow the app to override Do Not Disturb\u2019s settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that  if you select to show the notifications silently, you can\u2019t ask to override <em>Do Not Disturb\u2019<\/em>s settings because it can\u2019t override without making sound, of course.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"578\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/app-notification-management.jpg\" alt=\"Notification Management per App\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"8\">Adjust Font and Screen Size<\/h2>\n<p>With Nougat, you can <strong>adjust the size of the text <\/strong>and even that of<strong> non-textual elements<\/strong>, i.e., increasing or decreasing the ratio of the app\u2019s size (including bars and buttons) to the screen size per your display needs.<\/p>\n<p>To adjust the size of the text shown anywhere in the user interface, open the <strong>Settings app &gt; select Display &gt; tap <\/strong><strong>Font size<\/strong> and move the slider to set the final font size.<\/p>\n<p>To adjust the size of the non-textual parts of the interface including drawer, bars and buttons, <strong>open the Settings app &gt; click Display &gt; tap <\/strong><strong>Display size<\/strong> and move the slider to set the size you want.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/adjust-font-and-screen-size.jpg\" alt=\"Adjust Font and Screen Size\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"9\">Unlock System Tuner UI<\/h2>\n<p>System Tuner UI brings more in-depth settings and lets you fine tune design elements and some experimental features. For instance, you can <strong>turn on power notification controls<\/strong>, which enables more granular control over any individual app\u2019s notifications. You can even <strong>turn off complete quick settings<\/strong> to view just notifications in the notification bar.<\/p>\n<p>To enable this powerful and risky enhancement, swipe down from the screen to open the quick settings &gt; simply<strong> tap and hold<\/strong><strong> the <\/strong><strong>settings<\/strong><strong> icon<\/strong> until it starts spinning. You\u2019ll receive a confirmation of the feature been activated (as shown in the picture below).<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"867\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/unlock-system-tuner-ui.jpg\" alt=\"Unlock System Tuner UI\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"10\">Use Data Saver<\/h2>\n<p>Data Saver feature <strong>limits access to data for apps in the background<\/strong>, saving you data as well as battery life. It\u2019s good to keep it enabled if data saving is a necessity and your wish to forbid apps to use data in background for syncing or loading ads. For instance, an adware <strong>app won\u2019t show ads<\/strong> if you haven\u2019t opened it explicitly, but do note that an <strong>app like Twitter won\u2019t also refresh itself<\/strong> in the background unless you launch or interact with yourself.<\/p>\n<p>To turn on the Nougat\u2019s Data Saver, open the<strong> Settings app &gt; <\/strong>click <strong>Data usage<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Data saver<\/strong> &gt; click on the<strong> toggle<\/strong> <strong>button <\/strong>on the top right to <strong>turn on the data saver.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Optionally, click on <strong>Unrestricted data access<\/strong> and choose the apps that <strong>data saver won\u2019t affect<\/strong>, i.e., these apps won\u2019t save data and will act in their full potential. This exclusion list is meaningful for important or crucial apps for which you don\u2019t want to miss or delay any notification.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"906\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/use-data-saver.jpg\" alt=\"Use Data Saver\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"11\">Block People and Numbers<\/h2>\n<p>Android 7.0 Nougat finally brings the ever-wanted <strong>feature to block numbers<\/strong>barnumbers from whom you <strong>don\u2019t intend to get messages or calls<\/strong>. It\u2019s especially helpful at times when we get irritated by spam or advertisement calls that disturbs you during work.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, we also find this feature helpful against marketing messages from market stores. To block such numbers, open the <strong>Dialer<\/strong> app &gt; <strong><\/strong>tap the <strong>Options<\/strong> button &gt; <strong>Settings &gt; <\/strong><strong>Call blocking<\/strong> and click <strong>ADD A NUMBER<\/strong>. Then, simply enter the number you wish to block and you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"906\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/block-people-and-numbers.jpg\" alt=\"Block People and Numbers\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"12\">Close Background Running Services<\/h2>\n<p>In most cases, background <strong>services consume unnecessary resources<\/strong>. For example, Facebook consumes data and battery to get your timeline and other post updates or Twitter to fetch you latest tweets from your following or favorites list. But if the phone\u2019s battery is going to die or if you\u2019re ready to play a heavy game, then it\u2019s better to <strong>close <\/strong><strong>some <\/strong><strong>irrelevant background-running services to free up resources<\/strong> and improve the performance.<\/p>\n<p>To close the running services, go to <strong>Settings &gt; <\/strong><strong>Developer options <\/strong>(enable these first if not yet enabled or visible by going to <strong>Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>About &gt; Software information<\/strong> and then tap<strong> <\/strong>on the<strong> Build number <\/strong>7 times) &gt; <strong>Running services<\/strong> and click on the running services you want to close one-by-one and <strong>tap the STOP button<\/strong> for each to kill them from the memory.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/close-background-running-services.jpg\" alt=\"Close Background Running Services\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"13\">Add your Second Language<\/h2>\n<p>If you are equally fluent in two languages, then Android 7.0 Nougat provides you the facility to give input in both the languages, which is obviously a <strong>great feature for bilingual users<\/strong> and also frequent travelers.<\/p>\n<p>To make use of the multi-locale feature, open<strong> Settings &gt; <\/strong><strong>Languages & input &gt; Language preferences<\/strong>, then select <strong>Add a language<\/strong> and finally pick your second language from the list of available languages. Then after, you can easily change the language in the on-screen keyboard by pressing globe or long-pressing spacebar key.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"904\" height=\"531\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/add-your-second-language.jpg\" alt=\"Add your Second Language\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"14\">Optimize Battery Management<\/h2>\n<p>Android\u2019s battery management capabilities <strong>require serious improvements<\/strong> because of no successfully advancements in battery technology. Owing to the same, Nougat brings better battery management feature than its predecessors. <strong>Doze on the Go supersedes Doze<\/strong> released with Android 6.0 Marshmallow and boasts to improve the overall battery life.<\/p>\n<p>Do note that some third-party non-compatible apps may no longer send you notifications or perform background data-required tasks. This means you may <strong>end up missing some instant messages<\/strong> or other notifications.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, you can turn off battery optimization for such apps by doing these steps: open <strong>Settings &gt; Battery &gt; Battery optimisation &gt; All apps <\/strong>and tap on the apps individually and select <strong>Don\u2019t optimise<\/strong> and then click <strong>DONE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"782\" height=\"459\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/optimize-battery-management.jpg\" alt=\"Optimize Battery Management\"><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"15\">Use File Encryption<\/h2>\n<p>Android 7.0 brings File-Based Encryption that contrary to the already available full disk encryption in Android, encrypts and <strong>locks only some part of the storage<\/strong> rather than the complete storage of the device. This <strong>allows the essential apps to function properly<\/strong> even if you don\u2019t unlock the device, for ex., the device will sound alarms if auto-restarted.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the same, you don\u2019t need to enter the lock code during the boot process. A full wipe, however, is required to switch from full disk encryption to file encryption. To encrypt your device using this scheme, go to <strong>Settings &gt; <\/strong><strong>Developer options <\/strong>(enable these if not yet enabled or available by opening<strong> Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>About &gt; Software information<\/strong> and tap<strong> <\/strong>on<strong> Build number <\/strong>7 times)<strong> &gt; Convert to file encryption<\/strong> and click <strong>WIPE AND CONVERT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-7-nougat-tips-tricks\/use-file-encryption.jpg\" alt=\"Use File Encryption\"><\/figure>\n<p>Well, that was all about the new features and enhancements offered in the latest version of the most popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/lesser-known-operating-systems\/\">mobile operating system<\/a>. <strong>What more do you love<\/strong> about Google\u2019s Android 7.0 Nougat?
